Today Gorakhpur has transformed: CM Yogi Adityanath

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Tuesday that Gorakhpur has undergone significant transformation, with the development of good roads and a proper drainage system.

CM Yogi also highlighted that new infrastructural projects are progressing rapidly.

"...Today Gorakhpur has transformed. Anyone who visits here goes back overwhelmed. Now, there is a new Uttar Pradesh of New India, and there is also a new Gorakhpur in this new Uttar Pradesh. There are good roads here, and a good drainage system has been built. New development programs are moving forward. AIIMS Gorakhpur has become a major center for treatment in eastern Uttar Pradesh," Yogi said after inaugurating 'Poshan Pakhwada 2025' in Gorakhpur.

Meanwhile, CM Yogi Adityanath launched a strong attack on the Samajwadi Party (SP) and Congress, accusing them of divisive politics and supporting Pakistan following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.

Speaking at an event in UP's Deoria district, where he laid the foundation for various development projects, Adityanath condemned SP leaders for their comments, which he said undermine national unity and shield Pakistan by deflecting blame for the attack.

Adityanath mentioned an SP leader's refusal to visit the family of Shubham Dwivedi, a Kanpur resident killed in the attack, stating that the leader claimed Dwivedi was not a member of the party.

"You have seen that after the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, it is hard to understand whether the statements are from an SP leader or a Pakistani spokesperson... When a reporter asked an SP leader why he hadn't gone to pay respects to the victim, Shubham Dwivedi, he said he wasn't a member of the party," CM Yogi said.
